    Comic self-absorption meets poignant longing in this compelling look at some aspects of motherhood. Lou masks her secret from Heather, which makes the truth she shares with her husband all the more shattering.

    Jeni Mahoney writes a compelling interaction between two young mothers that swells and pays off in the end in an engaging way that will make most parents in the audience stop and think. Her characters are layered, and this script would set up actors to make great storytelling choices that would indeed make this a memorable production. Enjoyed it greatly.
